The resignation Of MIR. Sparks, which is an
nounced from Washington, will be hailed with
delight all over the Northwest. This is step
which Mr.. Sparks should have long since
taken. A public official who finds that he
cannot conform his views to those Of the
chief In whose department he finds him-
self placed, should at once step down and out.
Mr.. Sparks has done much which has tended
to retard the growth Of the Northwest, and a
sigh of relief will escape from the people now
that he ia gone. The trouble all along with
the ex-commissoner has been that In attempt
Ing to perform what he conceived to be bis
duty he stepped away over the line. President
Cleveland has now an opportunity to gain the
good will and lasting gratitude Of the people
OF the Northwest by appointing man from
the section Of the country that Is most directly
interested in the administration Of the land
laws. and who will not attempt to run his de-
partment upon preconceived theory, but will
administer the laws as he finds them and with
some little regard to the generally accepted
policy OF the land department in the past.

A large number Of those who desire the ad-
mission Of Dakota as whole, and who are Of
opinion that the proper time has come in
which to act have united In issuing the fol-
lowing call for convention:
To the voters Of the Territory Of Dakota:
Believing that the time has arrived when
the claims Of Dakota to statehood should be
presented to congress in diguifed proper, and
respectful manner, you are earnestly requested
to assemble in county convention at an early
date and elect delegates to convention of the
people of Dakota, irrespective of political par
ties or affiliations, to be held at the city Of
Aberdeen, on the 10Th day of December, 1887,
at noon Of that day. All persons who favor
division as a whole and without unnecessary
delay, arc invited to take part in this conven-
ton. We believe that II Dakota's claims are
fairly presented to the congress of the United
States about to assemble, that an enabling act
will be passed authorizing the holding Of
constitutional convention for the whole terri
tory, and that as soon as the labors Of that
convention shall be ratified by the people of
the territory we will be admitted as state"

Thc Number Of the stars.

FROM GOOD WOruS
Some astronomers have devoted special atten-
ton to counting the number Of stars which may
be seen with the naked eye, and the result has
been that, even to persona gifted with more than
ordinary powers OF vision, there are not so many
1900 stars at any time visible above the hori-
zOn. But a very different result presents itself
when the heavens are surveyed through tele-
view which were previously invisible, and the
more powerful the telescope used the greater the
number OF stars revealed to observation. until
finally the conclusion is arrived at that the num-
Der OF stars visible in the heavens Is limited only
by the optical capacity OF the instrument which
the observer may employ In his survey. A familiar
Illustration OF this is furnished by the wel-knOwn
with the naked eye, this interesting object is
seen to consist OF only some six or seven stars;
but when observed with an ordinary opera
glass the entire field OF view Is filled
With a beautiful c0nger1eS OF distinct stars. The
great astronomer, Sir William Herschel, who far
surpassed other astronomers In the profundity OF
his explorations Of the stellar heavens, has left
upon record some striking results OF his Observa-
tons illustrative OF the immense multitude OF
ve,lng. 1t may be proper to remark that when
the stars are surveyed even with telescope of
moderate capacity they are seen travelling In
quick succession through the field OF view OF the
Instrument an optical illusion attributable to the
diufnal revolution OF the earth upon its axis
Herschel, while engaged In surveying some regions
OF the Milky Way, found that In the short interval
passed through tn field OF his telescope ON an
other occasion he estimated that In Al minutes
there passed In review before him the immense
number OF 25S, 900 stars.

But greater surprise was at hand. There APP

the state. Nine years ago he was sent to the asy-
lum at Kalamazoo as an insane man, and he was
there three months when he was turned over to
the care OF a relative being cured. The relative
was TO bring him back to the asylum II his
malady returned. The judge OF probate, who
sent MIN to the asylum, failed to appoint
guardian for his children, and his personal
effects had been sold. Then he began a long
fgnt TO get possession OF his farm and TO get a
formal discharge from the asylum. He was
not able TO get the authorities OF the county TO
have him discharged, and while he was still re-
garded in law as an insane man, he could not get
hold OF his property, nor could he appear In court
or at the auction block TO prevent the foreclosure
OF mortgage on the property, and as the children
had no guardian their interest, not protected.
For years he has tried TO get himself legally dis
